Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes entered the league’s COVID-19 protocol Monday after testing positive following All-Star weekend festivities in Las Vegas.
Hughes’ older brother, New Jersey Devils All-Star Jack Hughes, was placed in protocol on Sunday.
Quinn Hughes made his second All-Star appearance.
Hughes, 22, has 34 points (two goals, 32 assists) and 20 penalty minutes in 45 games this season. The 5-foot-10 blueliner was selected No. 7 overall by the Canucks in the 2018 draft.
He must remain in the U.S. while in quarantine. He’ll be eligible to play in the Canucks’ game in San Jose on Feb. 17.
